Hi Matthew,

Thanks for comments!

like __dec_node_page_state(head, NR_SHMEM_THPS); will have preemptive warning...

So your proposal looks like;
1, xa_lock_irq(&mapping->i_pages); (optional)
2, spin_lock_irqsave(&ds_queue->split_queue_lock, flags);
3, spin_lock_irqsave(&pgdat->lru_lock, flags);

Is there meaningful for the 2nd and 3rd flags?

IIRC, I had a similar proposal as your, the flags used in xa_lock_irqsave(),
but objected by Hugh.

Thanks
Alex
